Over the last decade,
corporate technical publications departments have invested heavily in migrating
their content away from proprietary authoring and publishing tools (e.g.,
MSWord, Adobe FrameMaker) and implementing the DITA standard for content markup.
These companies have invested millions of dollars into content conversion and
implementation of DITA-based authoring and content management systems.

In many ways, these DITA
implementation projects have proven to be hugely successful, particularly with
regards to content reuse and reduced cost of localizing content to multiple
languages. However, one promise of DITA has often fallen short: the goal of true
“single source publishing.” The majority of technical publications groups are
still publishing to print as the primary output format, followed by online
help, and in some cases, eBooks. But, one major gap is still present for most
technical publishers: automated publishing to mobile devices.

Even though smartphones
and tablets have dominated the industry for the last several years, virtually
no one is publishing content in a way that fully uses the native capabilities
of these mobile devices. Instead, they are settling for the inherent
limitations of PDF or HTML files.

Dan Dube outlines 5 tips
to help technical publishers go “the last mile” to fully leverage their DITA
investment and deliver content to popular mobile device platforms like Apple
iOS and Android. This webinar will also help to answer the burning question:
“Why aren’t EPUB or PDF the best choices for delivering DITA content to a
mobile device?”
